1945
'Twas an active, enjoyable Fall Football Weekend for '45 families—and their dogs, too. The remark was made by one classmate that '45 was going to the dogs as some five canines joined the group this year. Friday, October 20 saw the clan gathering at Shady Lawn Motel to enjoy two days of class and college activities. The class officers worked their way thru an arduous meeting Saturday morning and met the wives and the rest of the group at the Jordans' for a most enjoyable pre-game buffet—again our deepest thanks to Betty and Cliff for their hospitality.
The Brown game was no thriller but it added to the feeling of togetherness as the leather-lunged rooters vied with Harry Hampton's horn, and the Cincinnati Reds rooters were the most vociferous of all as the Oakland A's were defeated in the Series—if only it had gone that way thruout the entire seven games.
Saturday evening was spent at the DOC house for cocktails, dinner and a brief business meeting. Bob Hage, director of the financial aid for the College, spoke on how much help the '45 Book Fund was to deserving students and how much more could be done along such lines.
Virginia Soule, representing the admissions office brought us up to date on developments in the field of the Dartmouth girls, both from an admissions and on-campus approach. Present during the weekend were: Gina and Griff Strasenburgh, Betty and Cliff Jordan, Gene Wilkin, Edie and Geoff Maclay, Dora and Frank Aldrich, Elaine and Jim Andrew, Vesta and Vic Smith, Barb and Ted White, Marge and Bob Paulson, Lynn and Ed Kohn, Sylvia and John Reed, Paul Glover, Howie Sawyer, Doris and Ed Pirie, Joanne and Bob Pease, Ginny and Jim Edson, Mary and Stan Newton, Jane and Torn Yates, Shirley and Joe Michael, Fred Berthold, Ginny and Harry Hampton, Jane and Mo Frye, Moose Rowan, Marylee and John Osborn, Frank Edmands, Ruth and John Leggat, Laura and Paul Caravatt, Pat and Ted Smith, Joanne and Ed Crane, Ruth and Don Sisson, Pat and Al Ungar, Elizabeth and Dave Hewitt, Connie and Spence Johnson, Jean and Frank Hutchins, Betsy and Andy Carstensen, Emmy Lou and Gordie Sleeper, Helen and Eliot Mover, Rickie and Don Cole.
John White, president of the Consumers Water Co., headquartered in Portland, Me., has been elected president of the National Association of Water Companies.
Dinny Waterman passes on news regarding son Dana, a lawyer in Davenport, Iowa, and daughters Sibyl, assistant director of admissions at Skidmore, Sally a Smith freshman, and Glenna in junior high school. Dinny is all too reticent about his own activities but we assume he is still in law practice in Davenport and that son Dana is in the same firm.
From McLean, Va., Gran Beals lets us know that he is a vice president in the management consultant firm of Harbridge House, Inc.
The consul for the Republic of Haute Volta (West Africa) in New Orleans is none other than John Ormand who also functions as president of the Dartmouth club of Louisiana, a practicing attorney in labor law, and the host of a weekly TV show—the local Johnny Carson!?!
A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!!
